Google and other service providers involved in delivering the website may process certain technical information when you visit, such as device, browser, IP address, cookie or similar technology information and information relating to how their services are accessed.

3. How and Why We Use Personal Information

Where Cassette Vault directly processes personal information, it may be used to:

• receive, read and respond to enquiries;

• communicate with people who contact Cassette Vault;

• operate, maintain and protect the website and project;

• deal with legitimate business, licensing, media or other professional enquiries;

• protect the rights, content and intellectual property of Cassette Vault; and

Under UK data protection law, personal information must be processed using an appropriate lawful basis.

Depending on the circumstances, Cassette Vault may rely on:

Legitimate interests — where processing is reasonably necessary to communicate with visitors, respond to enquiries, operate and protect the Cassette Vault project or website, or pursue legitimate professional interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.

Legal obligation — where information must be processed or retained in order to comply with applicable law.

Contract — where processing is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into an agreement or to perform an agreement with you.

Consent — where consent is specifically requested for a particular use of personal information. Where processing relies upon consent, you may withdraw that consent.

4. Email Communications

If you email Cassette Vault, your email address, message and any other information you include will be received and processed for the purpose of dealing with your communication.

Cassette Vault does not currently operate a promotional email newsletter or mailing list.

Contacting Cassette Vault does not automatically subscribe you to marketing communications.

5. Google Sites and Third-Party Services

Cassette Vault is currently hosted using Google Sites.

The website may also contain embedded content or functionality provided by third parties. These services may process information according to their own terms and privacy policies.

Cassette Vault does not control the privacy practices, cookies or technologies operated independently by those third-party services.

6. YouTube and Embedded Media

Cassette Vault may embed YouTube videos or provide links to the official Cassette Vault YouTube channel and individual releases.

YouTube and Google may collect or process information when you view or interact with embedded YouTube content, depending upon your browser, device, account status, cookie choices and the way the service is configured.

Any information processed independently by YouTube or Google is subject to their respective privacy practices.

7. External Links and Streaming Services

These may include, without limitation:

• YouTube;

• music streaming and distribution platforms;

• music or media services; and

• other websites relevant to Cassette Vault releases or content.

If Cassette Vault music becomes available through additional streaming services in the future, links to those services may be added to the website.

When you follow an external link, you leave the Cassette Vault website. The destination website or service is responsible for its own privacy practices, terms, cookies and processing of personal information.

Cassette Vault is not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third-party websites and encourages visitors to review the relevant privacy information before providing personal information to them.

8. Sharing Personal Information

Cassette Vault does not sell your personal information.

Personal information may be shared where reasonably necessary with service providers used to operate communications or the website, or where disclosure is required by law, necessary to establish or defend legal rights, or necessary to protect Cassette Vault, its content or others.

Third-party platforms that you independently choose to visit through links on this website process information under their own privacy arrangements.

9. International Processing

Some third-party technology providers and online platforms used in connection with the website may operate internationally and may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where Cassette Vault itself is responsible for an international transfer of personal information, appropriate safeguards required by applicable data protection law will be used where necessary.

Third-party services may make their own international transfers in accordance with their respective privacy policies and legal obligations.

10. How Long We Keep Personal Information

Cassette Vault keeps personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including where necessary to respond to correspondence, maintain appropriate records, resolve disputes or meet legal obligations.

The appropriate retention period will depend upon the nature and purpose of the information.

Routine correspondence that no longer serves a legitimate purpose will be deleted when it is no longer reasonably required.

11. Security

Reasonable steps are taken to protect personal information under the control of Cassette Vault against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

However, no website, email service or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
